Steve Hackman: Fusion, Re-imagination, and Revelation

A multi-hyphenate music powerhouse and visionary producer, Steve Hackman is a daring voice leading the charge among a new generation of classical musicians intent on redefining the genre. Equally adept in classical and popular styles, Hackman is the creator of FUSE, a production that synthesizes classical and popular masterworks such as Brahms X Radiohead and The Resurrection Mixtape (Mahler X Notorious BIG X Tupac Shakur) which he conducted all over the world. 

For his Stanford Live visit, Hackman, along with three singers, brings Beethoven X Coldplay and Tchaikovsky X Drake and will also discuss his recent work on the Beatles. Classical and pop enthusiasts alike as well as those passionate about producing and arranging will learn about how Hackman uses his breadth of skills as a composer, arranger, conductor, DJ, songwriter, and musician to put a spotlight on the emerging hybrid world of musical expression and experimentation.
